This is a new series where I will be making 5 trades that the Bulls will complete at the deadline. In this trade we see the Bulls ship off Demar to LAL for DLo, Vandy, and a future lottery Protected frp.

Why the Lakers do this: The Lakers are a serious contender this year, but they Cam never get enough scoring. Doing this gets them the best mid range scorer in the league and a bona-fide championship roster. That lineup is this:

PG- Lebron James

SG- Austin Reaves

SF- Demar Derozan

PF- Rui Hachimura

C- Anthony Davis

Why the Bulls do this: They are going into the deadline below .500 and have nothing left in the tank. In return they get a young defender and a cap filler in DLo, along with a frp. Their new roster looks like this:

DLo/Caruso/Carter

Lavine/White

PWill/Terry/Green

Vanderbilt/Craig/Phillips

Drummond
